My life has gradually become smaller. It has become smaller
due to intention. I have my small world which consists of close family members and friends. My small world also has a
few belongings which have meaning to me: family photos, artwork from my now
adult son.
I have begun molding my life into a world which I desire.
At times, I feel a sadness at the letting go of the people or things in my life
which are detritus; those peiple and things which I must let go. My wish is to keep the good memories I have, yet I know I must let some of these people and things go.
Contrary to what the world extols that bigger is better, I’ve
come to the realization that for me, the small things are in that sweet
spot. My friends and family have been curated.
I’ve edited and revised those material things: my possessions have been culled.
The result is the edited version of my life. It has become “lesser than” and
the final result is the people and things that matter to me. These are the small things. This is my life edited.
